Origin of oscillations in photon distributions of squeezed states

Jan Peina, J. Bajer

Oscillations in the photon distribution of squeezed states are explained based on the interpretation of the generating function in terms of the generalized superposition of coherent fields and quantum noise.

Search for interfering pathways for atomic squeezed states

G. S. Agarwal

The atomic squeezed states are known to exhibit oscillatory population distributions. The origin of these oscillations is traced back to different pathways that contribute to the amplitude of oscillations. The zeros in the population distribution are due to complete destructive interference between two pathways.

Area of overlap and interference in phase space versus Wigner pseudoprobabilities

Wolfgang P. Schleich, Daniel F. Walls, JOHN ARCHIBALD WHEELER

In the semiclassical approximation, the quantum-mechanical scalar product between two quantum states is governed by (1) the areas of overlap in phase space of these states and (2) interference between the probability amplitudes contributed by these areas. We compare and contrast this principle with Wigner's concept of pseudoprobabilities in phase space and illustrate the essential points of both treatments by the oscillations in the photon distribution of a highly squeezed state.
